“Dominic & Annie were fantastic, and we'd highly recommend them for both house and dog sitting! They sent us frequent updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dogs were happy, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. They also left our home spotless. They are reliable, professional, trustworthy, and truly went above and beyond. We wouldn't hesitate to book them again!”
“Maggie was exceptional throughout the entire process and I highly recommend her services! We had three dogs and she gave each of them the loving they needed while we were away, while providing us updates of all the fun they were having together!”
“Michael did a great job taking care of our sweet old golden retriever and our young (18 month-old) rebellious one. He brought in mail and deliveries, and he watered plants. Overall, the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned, and the house was in great condition. We certainly recommend him and will book his services ourselves in the future.”
“Amazing as always. Came home to two happy pups after a week away. Maddy can always be counted on to take care of your furry loved ones and be so respectful of your home. Highly highly recommend!!”
“Sofia is amazing! Our pups love her. She is so communicative and sent pics of the dogs while we were away. It’s wonderful being able to leave our dogs and know they are being so well cared for. We are lucky to have found her!”
“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my babies :) she walked Bee, made sure she took her medicine, and gave them both plenty of snuggles. I would absolutely rebook if needed <3”
“Lilou was great! From our initial meet and greet and making sure she was comfortable staying at our apartment , to a second visit where we walked the dogs and showed her around the neighborhood so she was sure how to get in and out of our building. We felt very comfortable and confident with her taking care of our boys since she has dogs of her own and lots of experience sitting other dogs. She sent us updates and pictures which we appreciated very much. She had no issues with our dogs which was great. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would love to have her again in the future. Thanks Lilou!”
“Scarlett was fantastic! She took wonderful care of Sky, Goku, and Hamilton while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She kept me updated with pictures, which I really appreciated, and it was clear the dogs were happy and well looked after. Everything was exactly as I hoped for, and I came home to three content pups. I would definitely book with Scarlett again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Nice was an awesome dog sitter for my pitbull! She was very responsive and kept me up to date with daily messages throughout the stay. I would highly recommend and use her again for future pup sitting! :)”
“Lauren did an amazing job with our cat and two dogs! She sent us photos and updates throughout our trip and ensured that everyone was well taken care of. Also, she was super pleasant to communicate with! Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Konner did an excellent job of taking care of Nessie and my home. He came to meet Nessie ahead of time and learn about her care. He kept me informed all weekend and my home was neat and tidy when I returned. I highly recommend Konner.”
About: I was the primary caregiver to my childhood dog (who I considered my best friend) growing up from age 5 to age 20. I've been the primary babysitter including overnight stays for my sister's German shepherd since he was a puppy until now well into adulthood. My husband is allergic so I'm not able to own my own animals despite how much I LOVE them, so I'm looking to get my animal fix by helping other people take care of their animals during the day when they're busy and at work 🥰 I've found myself with a lot of free time during weekdays and would love to use that time to help people take care of their pets and take them on walks, while also getting more quality time myself with cute animals!! I am a responsible and experienced dog walker who would be happy to walk your dogs around their own neighborhood where they're comfortable, or bring them somewhere new near my dog friendly neighborhood in olde town Arvada!
“Alicia did an amazing job taking care of our dog! She gave him so much attention and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We really appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures she sent, which let us know he was happy and well cared for. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. We would absolutely book with Alicia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Arvada is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arvada
Lily is an amazing pet sitter!! She watched my friends dog Daphne and my dog Betty at my house while we were away at a wedding. From the moment Lily met the dogs, I knew she would take such good care of them and her love of dogs really shined. Betty can be a stubborn eater but Lily made sure to communicate anytime Betty was being stubborn proactively. Daphne had just tore her CCL and as terrible timing goes, we had a wedding out of state. Lily gave us such huge peace of mind knowing Daphne was in the best hands! She administered medication daily and made sure Daphne was under active rest, which I know isn’t easy. I’m super grateful for her help and don’t know what I would have done without her. Thank you so much Lily!
Kamilla stayed at our house and took care of our two young cats for a little over a week. She was very communicative, took great care of the cats and was very respectful of our home. We have already booked her for two more upcoming trips and we would highly recommend her to anyone else!
Kaitlyn showed our pup the utmost care and was incredibly helpful! She kept us updated, took plenty of photos, kept to schedule, and treated our home with utmost respect! We could not have asked for a better caregiver for our older stubborn corgi! They went on tons of walks and played a lot - it's fairly clear our dog wants his vacation time with Kaitlyn back.. We wouldn't hesitate to book again and greatly appreciate the help!
We really appreciate hiw Jocelyn took excellent care of our pup while we were out of town! He seemed very happy and well loved when we got home. Plus, she left our house looking great and even went out of her way to bring in packages and the trash. We enjoyed the pictures and updates too! Will defintely use Jocelyn again!
McKenzie was so great with my dogs. Spent a lot of time with them during the weekend which I know they appreciated in my absence. She communicated with me throughout her stay with my beagles and I really appreciated the updates. My home was just as I left it when I returned. I will absolutely be using her again with my pups!
Our first time using Luke to watch our pups and everything went well. They seemed relaxed when we arrived home and the house was in good order. Luke sent pictures while we were away and showed up at our meet and greet and orientation appointment right on time. He is friendly, respectful and diligent. Will hire him again when needed!
I highly recommend Jenny- she was a pleasure to work with and made sure Fern, my pup was well taken care of!! Fern was so comfortable with Jenny she didn't want to leave, and she came home as calm and comfortable as if she had been home the whole time I was away. It was nice to travel and not worry knowing Ferm was in great hands and Jenny checked in daily putting me at ease! If you love your pet, let them stay with Jenny and they will thank you!!
Sam was an amazing house sitter and took great care of Rocky and Luna! He was able to help us in a very short notice and we are so grateful for him. He also had exceptional communication with photos every day, and took the dogs on a walk every day (which is not easy with my two huskies). 10/10 experience, thank you Sam!
Ali did a wonderful job caring for our senior chihuahua and anxious aussie mix. She kept us updated daily and was direct about her schedule to reassure us when she would be home with our pups or at work, which we really appreciate! Would 100% recommend her to stay with your fur fam. 🙂

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Arvada walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Arvada maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Arvada choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
